The Master in Wealth Management is similarly structured. Aimed at future wealth managers, this programme is developed by industry professionals and educates students about traditional finance. Simultaneously, students are trained in important practices such as client relationship management, estate planning, ethics, and international taxation. It is also FIBAA-accredited and integrates internships into its curriculum.
The industry exposure is further enhanced when considering the level of expertise of the academic body. “The professors actually teaching the course are professionals,” says Kevin Schutz, a Master in Wealth Management graduate. “They teach according to their experiences.”
Anuradha Sarda agrees. “You are taught by the best people in the industry,” she shares.
She undertook the Master in Accounting and Audit, which grounds students in scientifically-based knowledge on all the specialist areas relevant to the field. At the same time, practical elements are infused into the programme to ensure students are prepared for the job market.
“You’re taught on the basis of case studies and project-based learning,” Sarda adds. “I think that’s a very special element of our university.”
For those looking for careers in academia, public institutions, and upscale jobs in the industry, there’s the MSc in Quantitative Economics and Finance. This highly intensive programme compares to the first year of doctoral programmes at top universities in the US or UK. The most exceptional students may be offered a route into the university’s Doctoral School in Economics, Finance and Management (DSEFM).
Opportunities abound for highly individualised supervision from within the faculty. “I really enjoyed discussing with professors who have proven expertise in their research field,” graduate Rana Cömertpay shares. “I could really approach them and learn about their work, which served to enhance my interest in the research I’m currently conducting.”
All in all, students at the University of Luxembourg are well-placed to thrive in their careers by the time they graduate — and in turn, become successful, leading economists and financial experts.
